Whoever sinned, doing evil a hundred, and it being prolonged to him, for also I know that it will be to those fearing God, who shall be afraid from his face.

And it shall not be good to the unjust one; he shall not lengthen the days as a shadow, for he feared not from before the face of God.

There is vanity which was done upon the earth; that there is the just which it comes upon them according to the work of the unjust: and there is the unjust, it comes upon them according to the work of the just. I said, Also this is vanity.

And I praised joy, because there is no good to man under the sun but to eat and to drink, and to rejoice: for this shall lodge with him in his labor the days of his life which God gave to him under the sun.

According as I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to see the labor that was done upon the earth: for also in the day and in the night he saw not sleep with his eyes.

And I saw all the work of God, that no man shall be able to find out the work that was done under the sun in whatsoever a man shall labor to seek out, and he shall not find: and also if the wise one shall say to know, he shall not be able to find.

For all this I gave to my heart, and to examine all this, that the just and the wise and their works are in the hand of God: also love, also hatred, no man shall know of all before them.

All according to all: one event to the just one and to the unjust one; to the good one and to the clean one, and to the unclean one; to him sacrificing and to him not sacrificing: as the good one, so the sinning one; he swearing, as he who shall fear an oath.

This an evil in all being done under the sun, thus one event is to all: and also the heart of the sons of man being full of evil, and folly in their heart in their living, and after it to their deaths.

For whoever shall choose to all the living there is hope: for to a living dog it is good above a dead lion.

For the living know they shall die: and the dead know not any thing, and no more to them a reward; for their remembrance was forgotten.

Also their love, also their hatred, also their envy perished already; and no more portion to them forever in all which was done under the sun.

See life with the wife which thou didst love all the days of the life of thy vanity which he gave to thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for this thy portion in life, and in thy labor which thou laborest under the sun.

All which thy hand shall find to do, with thy strength, do thou; for no work and understanding and knowledge and wisdom, in hades where thou goest there.

I turned back, and saw under the sun that not to the fleet the race, and the war not to the strong, and also not to the wise, bread; and also not to the understanding ones, riches; and also not to the knowing, favor; for time and chance will light upon all of them.

Also this I saw, the wisdom under the sun, and it was great to me:

Flies of death will cause the oil of the perfume to stink, it will ferment: the preciousness of wisdom above the honor of the least folly.

The heart of the wise one to his right, and the heart of the foolish one to his left.

And also as the foolish one went in the way, his heart was wanting, and he said to all, It is folly.

Folly was given to great heights, and the rich were set in lowness.

If the iron became dull and he polished not the face, and he will strengthen the forces: and wisdom will make preeminence to prosper.

If a serpent will bite without magic; and no pre?minence to the possessor of the tongue.

And the foolish one will multiply words: man shall not know what shall be; and what shall be after him, who shall announce to him?

The labor of the foolish will weary them, because he knew not to go to the city.

Wo! to thee, O land: thy king a youth, and thy chiefs will eat in the morning.

Thou shalt give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou shalt not know what shall be evil upon the earth.

In the morning sow thy seed, and at evening thou shalt not let thy hand rest: for thou shalt not know whether this shall be right, this or that, or if they two as one being good.

And the light is sweet, and good to the eyes to see the sun:

Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and thy heart shall do thee good in the days of thy youth, and go in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: and know thou, that for all these God will bring thee into judgment

And put away anger from thy heart, and cause evil to pass away from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.

And remember him creating thee in the days of thy youth, till even when the days of evil shall not come, and the years draw near in which thou shalt say, Not to me delight in them;

In the day those watching the house shall tremble, and the strong men bent themselves, and the grinders ceased for they were few, and they looking through the lattice were darkened,

Also from height they shall be afraid, and being dismayed in the way, and the almond tree shall be despised, and the locust shall become a burden, and the caperberry shall fail: for man shall go to his eternal house, and they mourning, went about in the street:

And the dust shall turn back to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall turn back to God who gave it.

The preacher sought to find words: of delight: and that written was straight, words of truth.

The song of songs which is to Solomon.

To the odor of the good ointments thy name shall be poured forth an ointment; for this, the maidens loved thee.

Draw me, we will run after thee: the king brought me to his chambers: we will exult and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy breasts above wine: the upright loved thee.

Thou shalt not see me, I am black; the sun searched me: my mother's sons were angry with me; they set me to watch the vineyards; my vineyard I watched not for me.

Announce to me, thou whom my soul loved, where thou wilt feed, where thou wilt lie down at noon: wherefore shall I be as he covered by the herds of thy companions.

To my mares in Pharaoh's chariots I likened thee, O my neighbor.

A bundle of myrrh my beloved to me; he shall lodge between my breasts.

A cluster of cypress my beloved to me in the vineyards of the kids' fountain.

As the apple among the trees of the forest, so my beloved between the sons. In his shadow I delighted, and I sat down, and his fruit was sweet to my palate.

He brought me to the house of wine, and his banner over me was love.

My beloved is like to the roe or to the fawn of the hinds: behold him standing behind our wall looking forth from the windows, glancing from the lattices.

My beloved answered and said to me, Rise up for thyself, my friend, my beautiful one, and go for thyself.

My dove in the refuges of the rock, in the biding of the steep mountain: cause me to see thy form, cause me to hear thy voice; for thy voice is sweet and thy form becoming.

My beloved to me, and I to him: he feeding among the lilies.

Until the day shall breathe and the shadows fled away, turn, thou, it being likened to thee, my beloved, to the roe, or to the fawn of the hind upon the mountains of section.

As a little I passed from them till I found him my soul loved: I held him fast, and I shall not let him go till I brought him into my mother's house, and to the chamber of her conceiving me.

All of them holding the sword, being trained to war: each his sword upon his thigh from terror in the night

Go forth, ye daughters of Zion, and look upon king Solomon; upon the crown his mother crowned to him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart

Behold thee beautiful, my friend, behold thee beautiful; thine eyes doves' from behind to thy veil: thy hair as a herd of goats which lay down from mount Gilead.

Thy two breasts as two fawns, twins of the roe deer feeding among the lilies.

Till the day shall breathe, and the shadows fled away, I will go for myself to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of Lebanon.

Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south, blow upon my garden; its spices shall flow out. My beloved shall come to his garden, and he shall eat his most precious fruits.

I Came to my garden, my sister, O spouse: I gathered my myrrh with my spices; I ate my droppings with my honey; I drank my wine with my milk: Eat, O friends; drink ye, and drink to the full, O beloved ones.

I slept and my heart waked: the voice of my beloved knocks at the door; Open to me, my sister, my friend, my dove, my perfect one: my head was filled with dew, my locks with the drops of the night

I arose to open to my beloved, and my hands dropped myrrh, and my fingers, myrrh overflowing upon the hands of the bolt

I opened to my beloved, and my beloved turned about, he passed away: my soul went forth in his speaking: I sought and I found him not; I called him and he answered me not

I adjured you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye shall find my beloved, what ye shall announce to him: I am pierced by love.

My beloved went down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.

I to my beloved, and my beloved to me: he feeding among the lilies.

She is one, my dove, my perfect one; she is one to her mother, she is the chosen to her bearing her. The daughters saw her and pronounced her happy; the queens and the concubines, and they will praise her.

I went down into the garden of nuts to look upon the greens of the valley, to see whether the vine was fruitful, whether the pomegranates blossomed.

Thy two breasts as two fawns, twins of the roe-deer.

This thy height was like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters.

And thy palate as good wine going to my beloved for uprightness, causing the lips of the sleeping to flow softly.

I to my beloved, and upon me his desire.

Come, my beloved, we will go forth to the field; we will lodge in the villages.

We will rise early to the vineyards; we will see if the vine was fruitful, the vine blossoms opened, the pomegranates blossomed: there will I give my beloved to thee.

Who will give thee as a brother to me, sucking the breasts of my mother? I shall find thee without, I shall kiss thee; also they shall not despise me.

I will lead thee, I will bring thee to the house of my mother; thou wilt teach me: I will give thee to drink from spiced wine from the new wine of my pomegranate.

Many waters shall not be able to quench love, and rivers shall not overwhelm it: if a man shall give all the riches of his house for love, despising, they shall be despised for him.

A little sister to us, and no breasts to her: what shall we do for our sister in the day it shall be spoken for her?

A vineyard was to Solomon in the place of a multitude; he gave the vineyards to those watching; each shall bring in its fruit a thousand of silver.

My vineyard to me before me: a thousand to thee, O Solomon, and two hundred to those watching its fruit.

Thou sitting in the gardens, the companions attending to thy voice: cause thou me to hear.

Flee, my beloved, and be it likened to thee to the roe or to the fawn of the hinds upon the mountains of spices.

Hear, ye heavens, and give ear thou earth, for Jehovah spake: for I caused to grow and lifted up sons, and they rebelled against me.

From the sole of the foot and even to the head, no wholeness in it; a wound and bruise, and a fresh blow: they were not pressed out, and they were not bound up, and they were not softened with oil.

Unless Jehovah of armies left to us an escaping so small, we were as Sodom and we were made like to Gomorrah.

Hear the word of Jehovah, ye leaders of Sodom: give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

For what to me the multitude of your sacrifices? Jehovah will say: I was filled with the burnt-offerings of rams and the fat of fatlings; and I delighted not in the blood of bullocks, and of he lambs and of he goats.

When ye shall come to be seen before me who sought this from your hand to tread my enclosure.

Ye shall not add to bring gifts of iniquity; incense, this an abomination to me; the new moon and the Sabbath, the calling of the assembly; I shall not be able to bear vanity and restraining.

Your new moons and your appointments my soul hated; they were for a burden upon me; I was wearied to lift up.

Learn to do good; seek out judgment, lead right the oppressor, judge the orphan, contend for the widow.

Thy chiefs turning away, and associates of thieves: every one loving a gift and following recompenses: the orphan they will not judge, and the cause of the widow will not come to them.

And I will turn back my hand upon thee, end I will straiten thy dross according to pureness, and I will remove all thine alloy:

And I will turn back thy judges as in the beginning, and thy counsellors as in the beginning: after this he shall call to thee, The city of justice, the faithful city.

For ye shall be as an oak the leaf withering, and as a garden which there no water to it.

And the strong was for tow, and his work for a spark, and they two were burnt together, and none quenching.

And it was in the last days, the mountain of the house of Jehovah shall be prepared upon the head of the mountains, and lifted up above the hills; and all nations flowed to it

And many people went and said, Come, and we will go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us from his ways, and we will go in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.

And he judged between the nations, and he will decide for many peoples: and they shall beat down their swords to plough-shares and their spears to pruning-hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, and they shall no more learn war.

And their land shall be full of silver and gold, and no end to their treasures; and their land shall be full of horses, and no end to their chariots.

And their land will be full of nothings; they will worship to the work of their hand, to what their fingers made:

And man will bow down, and a man will humble himself, and thou shalt not lift up to them.
